![Tinsley, Dabney and Alexandra (L to R) from CW's "High Society"](http://www.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/large_lightbox/hash/b3/4a/b34a8b022f778a2caa093214fbf88448.jpg "Tinsley, Dabney and Alexandra (L to R) from CW's "High Society"")
The CW showed us Wednesday that society life isn't always so sweet on the scandalous premiere of their new reality series "High Society." The show centers around Manhattan socialite Tinsley Mortimer, her family and her socialite friends.
In 30 minutes, viewers saw how fast someone can blow thousands of dollars, how nasty people can be to their so-called friends and how tough life can really be if you are constantly in the public eye. If the show keeps up at this speed, I'm going to hit drama overload by episode three. I can't wait!
One of the bigger issues on the premiere was between Paul and Jules. They absolutely hate one another so love to slander one another. Paul claims that Jules lied to her family about having cancer and destroyed his relationship with his ex-boyfriend, while Jules claims that Paul stole her Blackberry and has been spreading rumors about her having cancer.
One night after just having been given $25,000 out of his trust for an apartment, Paul decided to blow a whole bunch of money on a benefit after party. Jules showed up with Tinsley, Dabney and Alex, and s*it hit the fan! Paul threw a drink in who he thought was Jules' face. Instead, he hit Alex. It landed in her eyes. She was screaming. Jules called the cops. Paul bolted from the club.
If you aren't familiar with the Manhattan social life, let me take a few moments to introduce you to the "High Society" crew.
Tinsley Mortimer was married to Topper Mortimer, her high school sweetheart and oil heir Topper Mortimer, who is no featured in the show. The couple recently separated, and Tinsley is having a really hard time dealing with the split, especially since her mother can't and won't accept the split. Her mother vows to get the pair back together and refuses to accept that her daughter is now happy dating a German prince. On the outside, Tinsley looks happy but on the inside she is in pain.
Paul Johnson Calderon is known as the Page Six scandal boy. His mother is convinced that he is making great strides in his addiction recovery and is ready to settle down with a nice man. Let us just say, she is delusional! That boy is out and about all hours of the night and has no intent to slow down. He, like another socialite we've met, has no censor or gone-too-far button.
That socialite I speak of is Jules Kirby, the ultimate socialite/party girl. I have to warn you in advance, this girl could care less if she hurts or offends anyone. She is unbelievably disrespectful, including screaming at hotel staff members, throwing phones, throwing drinks and occasionally using a horribly offense term that I refuse to repeat. When America thinks of out of control, they picture Jules.
Some less dramatic but equally important people to mention are Dabney, Tinsley's sister, Alex, Tinsley's best friend, and Malik So Chic, a big-time party planner.

Hello! This was all scripted. I do not think that people should hate these people for what they are portraying. It is not real, just their names. Of course Tinsley Mortimer came out the best. She is too old to be partying and she is a producer.
